Chapter 266 The Emperor really agreed!
Hearing Emperor Kangxi ask this, the Ninth Master also became excited: "Father, you asked the right question. This spicy chip tastes really good. I guarantee you will like it. Come, try it."
As Jiu Ye said this, he stood up and brought the spicy slices to Emperor Kangxi.
"Emperor Father!"
"emperor!"
Before Emperor Kangxi could touch it, two voices came from behind him.
One is the Fourth Master, and the other is Liang Jiugong.
"Your Majesty, these spicy chips are very spicy. If you have a bad stomach, you will feel uncomfortable after eating them. You'd better not try them, okay?" said the Fourth Master.
This thing was made by a little girl, and while it's incredibly flavorful, it also has its drawbacks. Those who love it will find it a treasure. Those who can't handle spicy food will find it as uncomfortable as a demon choking their throats.
If one is not taken care of, something might happen.
Liang Jiugong, who was standing beside him, nodded immediately after hearing what the Fourth Master said. "Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is right. The spicy chips that the Ninth Master presented look quite familiar to me. Are they the same as the ones that Imperial Physician Liu brought back earlier?"
Liang Jiugong had already had his suspicions just now, but when he followed the emperor to take a closer look, he confirmed it. He would never forget this thing in his life.
Seeing the Ninth and Tenth Masters enjoying their meals, he was very worried. He even wanted to call two imperial doctors.
In case any of the princes feel uncomfortable after eating, they can receive timely treatment.
The last time His Majesty tasted it, he was so upset that he called for several glasses of water. Now, I dare not let His Majesty take a bite.
When Liang Jiugong said this, Emperor Kangxi suddenly remembered: "Hey, it really is similar to what Doctor Liu sent back."
Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows and looked at the Ninth Master: "Where did you get this food?"
"Xiao Si... No, this is given to us by Xiao Shisi."
Jiu Ye subconsciously wanted to say something about Xiao Si's wife, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips. The food in his hand was really not given by Xiao Si's wife.
Emperor Kangxi shifted his gaze to Fourteenth, who was standing beside him. Fourteenth immediately said, "In reply to Your Majesty, this son...is actually a servant offering this to your son as a filial gift. I saw that the food was fresh, so I brought it over."
As he spoke, he forced a smile and said, "If the Emperor likes it, how about I ask him to send some more? I'll be on duty at the Construction Department, and it will be quick too."
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Fourteen and patted his shoulder: "Well, you are filial."
The Ninth Master and the Tenth Master looked at each other, both of them confused about the situation for a moment.
What's wrong with that brat Fourteen? Could it be that he got this food from someone else? As far as they know, no one else can make this except Xiao Si's wife. But Xiao Si's wife is not on duty at the Construction Department.
The Fourth Master couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Construction Department? Of all the people he knew, it seemed only Jiu'er's father worked there... and he had even summoned him to meet Jiu'er today.
Could it be such a coincidence?
"What is that instant noodles?" Emperor Kangxi still remembered this incident and asked with a kind look.
When the Ninth Master heard this, he immediately said very sensibly, "Father, I'll bring you some snacks later. Would you like to try them?"
Emperor Kangxi nodded immediately when he heard this: "Yes, the ninth son is also a filial son."
Then he shifted his attention to the Tenth Master.
The Tenth Master blinked his eyes and said, "Father, I got some fresh snacks...will I send them to you later?"
Emperor Kangxi said kindly: "Well, you are also a filial child."
The Thirteenth Master looked at the situation and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I have also prepared a gift for the Emperor and will bring it over tomorrow."
Emperor Kangxi patted Thirteen's head and said, "Good, good boy."
The next second, everyone's attention turned to the Fourth Master.
Fourth Master: “…”
Emperor Kangxi saw that his fourth son's face hadn't changed at all, and he immediately frowned. "Fourth son, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Fourth Master: "Your son has not yet given your permission..."
"Father Emperor!" Thirteen suddenly interrupted the Fourth Master. "Fourth Brother told me before that he had prepared some fine wine for Father Emperor. It tastes sour and sweet with a hint of fruit, and it's incredibly delicious. A few of us wanted to try it, but Fourth Brother wouldn't let us have it. He insisted on sending it back to you."
The Fourth Master frowned and looked at the Thirteenth Master. When had he said that? Why didn't he remember?
Thirteen lowered his head and pretended not to see. Fourth Brother was always like this. He had clearly done a brilliant job, but he was so stiff and refused to say a single good word. The Emperor was in high spirits right now, so why spoil his fun?
"Oh?" Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but glance at the Fourth Master after hearing this. Although the Fourth Master still had a cold expression, Emperor Kangxi smiled a little: "The Fourth Master has worked so hard to get this, I'm going to taste it carefully."
The Fourth Master pursed his lips and was about to speak when the Ninth Master beside him said, "Father Emperor, Fourth Brother also said he would send you some canned food. The canned food tastes good and is something we can't eat on weekdays."
The Tenth Master looked at his Ninth Brother, then at Thirteenth Brother, and nodded. "Fourth Brother also said that he wanted to invite the Emperor to his house to eat fish hotpot and fried chicken, and he also said that he would hold a banquet at that time, which would be very lively..."
The Tenth Master smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. The Fourth Brother was always stingy and even said that after returning to Beijing, he would ask them to visit his house less often.
In order to prevent himself from being kicked out by his fourth brother, the Tenth Master thought it would be more appropriate to bring the Emperor along.
If the Emperor wants to go and eat, Fourth Brother won’t refuse, right?
The Fourth Master listened to what they said, narrowed his eyes slightly, clenched his fists, and said with a forced smile: "Okay, you guys are really good."
Several princes were frightened by him and shuddered, subconsciously taking several steps back, even Thirteen was no exception.
Little Fourteen, standing nearby, hesitated for a moment, then, like his brothers, took two steps back. Blinking his eyes, he took in the situation, finding it increasingly difficult to understand what was happening.
Thirteen felt that this was not good. Although the ninth and tenth brothers said similar things to him, it always felt wrong.
Did Fourth Brother think he was just saying that because he wanted to drink? Suddenly, he felt like crying but couldn't. He looked at Ninth and Tenth Masters beside him with a look of resentment.
Jiu Ye spread his hands, looking innocent. Why are you glaring at him? Isn't it all because of the stuttering?
Emperor Kangxi glanced at his sons with drooping eyelids, and said kindly, "Since the fourth son is so kind, I will go there when I have time."
When these words were spoken, the others were stunned.
The Tenth Master was just saying that and didn't hold much hope, but he didn't expect that the Emperor would actually agree?
The Fourth Master couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and immediately clasped his fists together: "Father Emperor, it was just a joke..."
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand to stop the Fourth Master from speaking, saying, "Why? Don't you want me to visit your house?"
